Stress: Portrait of a Killer DVD
Over the last three decades, science has been advancing our understanding of stress—how it impacts our bodies and how our social standing can make us more or less susceptible.

From baboon troops on the plains of Africa, to neuroscience labs at Stanford University, scientists are revealing just how lethal stress can be. Research reveals that the impact of stress can be found deep within us, shrinking our brains, adding fat to our bellies, even unraveling our chromosomes.

Yet understanding how stress works can help us figure out ways to combat it and how to live a life free of the tyranny of this contemporary plague. In Stress: Portrait of a Killer, scientific discoveries in the field and in the lab prove that stress is not a state of mind, but something measurable and dangerous.

I hear the Polish heraldry is known by its tinctures...herbs. I made up an anti-inertia tincture (recipe available on request) and just looked at my bottle just now, and realize this wind has stimulated me to drink 1/2 a cup of the stuff...stress relief.
Inertia removed first I want to appeal for any psi activity people might be having around the 1-2-3?

Hmm, do you think we are in for a 1-2-3 punch...
First a fake CIA attack in India on Americans blaming the Pakistanis
Then a fake Israel attack on Gaza courtesy of Washington blaming Palestinians
And lastly a Falscher Flagge on Homeland territory blaming Iranians?

Anyone "see" any kind of trauma events coming?

As animals we tend to remember that which we need to fear in order to ensure our survival. Memories especially those involving trauma, may be encoded on our DNA. Now Courtney Miller and David Sweatt of the University of Alabama in Birmingham say that long-term memories may be preserved by a process called DNA methylation - the addition of chemical caps called methyl groups onto our DNA. Many genes are already coated with methyl groups. When a cell divides, this "cellular memory" is passed on and tells the new cell what type it is - a kidney cell, for example. Miller and Sweatt argue that in neurons, methyl groups also help to control the exact pattern of protein expression needed to maintain the synapses that make up memories. They found that methylation was involved in creating short-term memories in the hippocampus. Further more the methyl changes may be anchoring the memory of the shock into long-term memory, not just controlling a process involved in memory formation. "We think we're seeing short-term memories forming in the hippocampus and slowly turning into long-term memories in the cortex," says Miller
